With Mariah Carey‘s ‘Merry Christmas One & All Tour’ launching in California on November 15, the diva – already notorious for dominating the holidays with her perennial hit ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’ – has left few stones unturned in promotion of the North American trek as well as other yuletide ventures.

After tackling ‘TODAY,’ ‘Good Morning America,’ ‘ABC News,‘ ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live,’ and others in support of all the seasonal efforts, the Songbird Supreme flew to ‘The Jennifer Hudson Show‘ for Wednesday’s episode (November 15) to dish even more.

When not discussing her love of Christmas, the 5-time GRAMMY winner reflected on her storied career by remembering unforgettable moments with Aretha Franklin and Prince.

Going into depth, Bilaal claims to have witnessed the pair actively having full intercourse. Speaking with gossip blogger Tasha K, he said:

“I opened the door to Duane’s dressing room and that’s when I see Duane having anal sex with Will. There was a couch and Will was bent over the couch and Duane was standing up killing him, murdering him. It was murder in there.”

As the world grapples with the reality of the sudden death of ‘Friends’ star Matthew Perry, the late actor’s castmates on the hit show are paying public tribute.

Shockwaves were sent across the globe when it was announced that the 54-year-old (who charismatically brought the character Chandler to life) was found drowned in a jacuzzi at his home in California on October 28.

Collectively, in the immediate aftermath of Perry’s passing, Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, and Matt LeBlanc issued a joint statement sharing their shock.

Now, the lion’s share of the cast of the beloved series (which remains one of the most successful shows) are pouring out their salutes to Perry individually.

Travis Scott styles, profiles, and sparkles on the cover of GQ’s Men of the Year issue.

The Houston-born Hip-Hop hitmaker returned to the top of the charts in triumphant form this year with his album ‘Utopia’ and reaffirmed his spot as one of music’s most successful acts.

And while the #1 LP sonically lives up to its title for many of Scott’s fans, its release is unavoidably engulfed in the aftermath of the Astroworld tragedy.

As extensively reported, 10 people lost their lives after a stampede broke out at the 2021 festival and a fatal crushing occurred.

Scott found himself supported by some but was also the subject of critique and an eventual investigation after he continued performing for a short time while the melee unfolded.

In the immediate aftermath and in the time since the superstar has maintained he was not aware of the gravity of what was going on in real life and stressed that he could only see a short distance into the crowd.

Nonetheless, an arguable cloud of sorts has trailed him and his output following the tragedy.

Seizing the newly unwrapped profile piece, Scott disambiguates and expands on his mindset about the situation, returning to music, and more.
